I own nothing it all belongs to Stephenie Meyer. All I own is the plot and Kim's family and probably any other character that you don't know unfortunately that means Tommy and her mum.
A/N Lots of you are asking about Kim's dad hope this clears everything up for you.
Daddy' Girl
Jared had
come back with some food, lots a muffins and sandwiches, and with
four DVD's all the x-men films plus the spin off wolverine one. We
had watched two films having to re-watch some parts with wolverine
for Josh and me since I was becoming a huge fan when Josh fell
asleep. I hadn't let him go only loosened him so he didn't over heat
from both Jared and I. I hadn't moved, to happy resting against
Jared's wide chest. Listening to his heart beat steadily. He had
winced at the first big fight but I had been fine. I hadn't told
Jared what had happened at this point but when I moved Josh my front
came into view. I felt Jared stiffen and his sharp in take of breath.
"I'll get you a shirt" with only that Jared got up and
returned a second later with a huge t-shirt. I smiled at him feeling
tears once again well up in my now puffy eyes. Jared had just brushed
my face gently. I had changed enjoying the scent of the t-shirt pure
Jared. I realised then that Josh was still in his coat and shoes. So
I quickly took his coat and shoes off showing off superman socks and
spider man t-shirt.
"Your a big super hero guy then"
Jared had said to Josh softly and I felt myself fall in love with him
that little bit more. Josh's little face lit up in a huge smile and I
felt myself start to cry. He had been so serious before not at all
like a six year old. He shouldn't have seen me like this. I
remember pulling him into a huge hug. After we had all removed our
coats (Jared his shirt) we had watched the movies.
As soon
and Josh's soft snores were steady Jared turns to look at me. His
eyes questioning I hesitate a second. Was I ready?
"You don't
have to tell me yet" I nod but I close my eyes and take a deep
breath. It was now and never and Jared was here. I was safe.
"It
was my fault" I whisper my voice thick and croaky "I had
just put my t-shirt in my bag when the bell rang" I try to say
it a quickly as I could so the fear couldn't come back but I felt its
fingers grip at me. Felt Tommy pulling on my arm making the dull
throb in my shoulder explode in fresh pain. "So I put my coat on
to cover myself, and answer the d-d-doooor" Jared's hand
suddenly was covering my hand on my shoulder, gently rubbing it. I
hadn't realised I was touching it.
"Shhhh you don't have
to"
"I want to" I whisper "you help" I
bury my face in his chest "he starts to shout at me, why wasn't
I at school I move back but he grabs me shouts at me, why w-was I
moving back" a small sob escapes my lips "he then see's my
coat" Jared continues to rub soothing circles on my back. On my
shoulder. Tommy wasn't here Jared was. It calms me "he thinks
your with me, starts to shout for you dragging me, I trip over my bag
he lets me fall" I rub my shoulder and I feel Jared tense.
"Kim
stop a second" I look up to see Jared shifting slightly. He
removes me hand then gently not moving it but just gripping the neck
of his shirt in his fingers. "I want to look at your shoulder is
that ok?" I nod. The Jared slowly pulls on the neck till it
stretches to show my shoulder. I hear Jared gasp and my eyes fly to
my shoulder. The skin of my back and shoulder was purple and
blue. Jared presses his finger gently to the bruised flesh and I
wince in pain. I must have hit it when he let me go. Then Jared lifts
the sleeve and I watch the material lift to reveal small blue circles
evenly spaced. Tommy's fingers. Jared closes his eyes and I feel him
shaking slightly. Then his lips warm and soft were kissing each
bruise. I feel myself closing my eyes a single tear trailing down my
face. Jared kisses my shoulder.
"I'm so sorry Kim" Jared
whispers "he won't ever touch you again" Jared gathers me
in a hug but I wince back. Instantly he lets go. "Kim I'm so
sorry if you don't want me to touch you-"
"No" I
whisper suddenly drawing back pushing Josh gently away so not to wake
him. Then I lift shirt over my head not at all conscious of the
action this was Jared this wasn't Tommy he wouldn't look at me
like that. I watch his eyes widen in surprise and confusion. Then I
turn my back to him. "How bad?" I ask. I hear his intake of
breath once again then a soft angry curse. The sofa shaking. I put
hand on Jared's leg.
"More bruising all over" His
fingers gently trail over the skin showing me the extent of the
brusie "Kim what happened?" I pull the t-shirt over my head
before facing Jared again wanting to quickly cover the evidence, for
Jared and for me.
"I fall he doesn't let go of my arm, it
hurts, then he drops me I remember hitting the ground. He finds my
bag with my shirt then he picks me up" I shake as I remember but
not as bad not with Jared here, "I can't stop him he pulls the
zip down. He looks at me" I remember feeling how it felt,
humiliating, degrading, terrifying. He could have done so much to me
and I wouldn't have been able to stop him. "Then he let me go. I
hit the ground he changes" I close my eyes "He was calm
telling me he would see me tomorrow. That I wasn't to get more lifts
then he just left"
"Kim" Jared says before holding
me gently but firmly against him rocking us slightly. "Kim"
"I was so scared" I admit words now just falling from
my lips "if I hadn't done what I did, if I...he looked at me.
I... he could have done so much and it was my fault!"
"No
Kim it wasn't'" Jared hisses pulling back to look me straight
in the eyes "It is not your fault, he is sick. You had every
right to do what you did. It is his fault and he better have paid for
making you cry. No one is ever to harm you or scare you again I
promise"
"I love you" I whisper my heart swelling.
Unable to say anything else.
"I love you too now forget him,
I'm here" I smile as I bring Josh to me again resting his little
head against my side and I snuggle up with Jared. I distantly hear an
explosion from the film before I fall to sleep. A hopefully dreamless
sleep.
"What is this?!" I woke to my mother
screaming. The small room was packed, with the boy's all of them
looking at my mother and father with distaste along with Jared,
Kellan and Caleb.
"Some one tell me right this second what is
going on"
"mummy" Josh says sleepily then seeing
Kellan smiles at him Kellan smiles back but it was a tense small
smile making his swollen bottom lip split. Seeing this Josh seems to
remember what had happened and turns to see me and Jared.
"Kim"
"Josh
why don't you come with me, I'll show you my comics I heard you liked
them" Embry spoke up "plus I think I saw Emily baking
cookies, you like cookies?"
"yeah" Josh smiles then
looks to me questioningly
"Yeah go see what Embry's comics
are like see if they're as good as yours and save me some cookies"
Josh smiles then bounces off the sofa to follow Embry.
"So?"
My mother screeches
"Tommy attacked Kim this afternoon"
Caleb answers in a quiet voice.
"Tommy? really you want me to
believe that Tommy attacked-"
"Shut up" My dad
suddenly shouts angrily pushing past her dropping to his knees in
front of me "Kim sweetie" He says softly his hands coming
to grip mine that I found held a wolverine figure "sweetie I'm
so sorry did he hurt you? Touch you?" He strokes my face just
under my eyes his face a mask of pain and worry.
"Sweetie I'm
so sorry"
"Daddy" I hear myself croak leaning back
from his touch even as I grip his other hand. Jared had been silent
but now his arm wraps around me waist.
"I'm here sweetie,
Kimmy sweetie I'm here" I grip his hand even as I hear him call
me Kimmy something he never had done, something I hated when Katie
called me it but right that second I loved it.
"David!"
She shrieks recovering from her shock.
"Mary can't you
see our daughter has just had the most terrifying event of her life
and that she needs out support right now. I never liked Tommy I hated
the way that he looked at Kim but you continued to force her to talk
to him! I will never forgive myself not being the father I should be
and warning that that monster away from my daughter and telling you
when to stop!"
"Why David how dare you! Can't you see
that Kim is just putting it on!"
"Stop!" Jared
suddenly shouts. His voice rough with anger. "Kim is not putting
this on why would she? What has she got to gain?"
"Attention"
she says like it is the simplest thing and I'm sure it was to
her.
"From who you? When she does get attention from you, you
ruin her life, ban her from seeing me. Move her from her school,
humiliate her, scold her. What are you going to do now? Force her to
apologise to Tommy" He spits the name as he snaps his
words.
"How dare you speak to me like that"
"He's
right Mary." Dad says softly cutting her off, then forgetting
her dad turns to me and Jared. "I'm going to take Kim home"
"I'm
not leaving Kim" Jared interrupts.
"I don't expect you
to, your both coming, you too Caleb we're going to talk all of us.
Especially you and me Mary"
"What do you mean by that
David?"
"I
mean that we need to talk about our future" With that and
nothing more, dad lets go of my hand just a Josh comes in with a
plate full of cookies he gives me, Jared, Kellan, Caleb and dad one
then looks up at Sam, Jacob and Quil who stood silently in the corner
their expression dark just watching. But when they see Josh they
smile before reaching down and taking a cookie.
"Is Emily
your wife?" Josh asks Sam complete unaware of the tense
atmosphere in the room
"Not yet but soon"
"You're
very lucky; she's very nice and makes very good cookies" Sam
laughs.
"I know I am"
"Come on Josh we're going
home now" dad says scooping him up and picking up his coat and
mine. I shiver as I look at it. Dad hands me it but I don't take it I
didn't want to put it back on not with the memories that came back
with it.
"Aww" Josh complains but shoves his arms in his
coat while dad unsuccessfully tries to put his shoes on finally
giving up.
"Kim you'll get cold" My mother snaps at me
as I push the coat away from me. Dad shoots her a look then
looks to me thoughtfully.
"She won't" Jared says
picking me up. I wrap my legs and arms around him hugging him close.
Then we were walking to the cars. Jared and I sitting in the back of
my parents with Josh. While Caleb and Kellan followed us in Caleb's
car. Once we were back home Dad instructs Jared to take me straight
up to my room. The twins were playing when we arrived but one look at
me stopped. Both of them carefully slowly approached me.
"Kim
are you ok?" they said at the same time their voices
worried.
"I'm not great" I answer truthfully. Jared was
next to me rubbing my back gently. The twins nod not sure what to say
then give me a small smile before leaving but stop at the
door.
"We'll sleep in Katie's room tonight" How did they
do that speak at the same time?
"Ok" I smile a small
smile, Ha take that Katie but the thought doesn't last. Then they
left leaving Jared and me on our own. We were silent for a while till
Jared broke it.
"What do you think will happen with your mum
and dad?" I know he was just trying to keep me thinking of
anything but Tommy. And asking about Dad's suddenly personality
change was the best thing.
"I don't know, Dad never has acted
like that"
"What
ever happens 'I'll be here"
"I know" I felt like
happy but at the same time like I was a bother.
"Jared?"
We both look startled to the door way to see my dad. His black hair
looking a little more grey and messy, his eyes were tiered and grim.
"I'd like a word with Kim" Jared looks to me and I nod
before he kisses my forehead and walks to the door. "Oh I
wouldn't go downstairs, Kellan is in his room though" Jared nods
and walks out not before giving me one last look and smiling at me.
My stomach flips slightly so I knew I was feeling a little better. I
sit up resting against the head board as my dad sits next to me. He
looked a little uncomfortable but not as much as he use too.
"Kimmy
sweetie, I'm sorry I didn't do anything sooner, in fact I'm sorry I
have never been there for you I don't expect you to forgive me for
that but I do want you to know that I love you, so much. I was so
scared when I saw you. I want to be a bigger part of your life now I
know you have Jared now, and I missed so much but I want to know you.
Will you let me?" I blink my emotions running wild before
throwing my arms around him.
"Daddy" I cry as he hugs me
back. I breathe in deeply smelling aftershave, rain and dad. that
unique smell. He had given something I thought I would never get a
parent, it wasn't perfect no where near in fact but it was a start.
"Sweetie" Dad whispers into my hair "It's been a long
day, now get some rest I'll see you in the morning I don't think
you're going to school tomorrow and I'm not going to
work"
"Jared?" I question not pulling away.
Suddenly hopeful.
"Don't worry sweetie" Then with that
he kisses my head and walks out. Seconds later Jared was back.
"What
does that mean?" I ask Jared knowing he heard.
"I don't
know but you should sleep"
"Don't leave me" I
command
"Never" Jared holds me close before kissing me
softly. But when he pulls away I don't let him pulling on his hair.
The kiss deepens. I wanted to forget Tommy how he touched me and
Jared helped me forget. Rid Tommy forever as I knew he would protect
me from him. I needed Jared's heat and comfort I needed to feel his
love and show him mine.
"Kim"
Jared whispers pulling away smiling chuckling slightly the sound
music to my ears helping me forget Tommy's shouts "I'll be here
tomorrow and the next day, you can't rid of me. You can kiss me
like that later in fact I expect you to but now sleep"
"Love
you" I whisper before closing me eyes feeling suddenly drained.
David's P.O.V
I walk down the stairs into the tense
silent kitchen.
"Caleb" I say getting me eldest sons
attention. He stood as far away as my wife as possible. "Thank
you for what you did today" I say. When he came into the house
his eye black with Kellan his lip bloody I didn't know what to think
then he said Kim's name and my heart stopped. She had been silent
and with drawn this whole week more than normal but I let my wife
once again stop me from doing what I wanted. What I should have done.
They had been looking for us for two hours and had just started to
drive to my work when they saw our car coming back. We had been
shopping. I look to see the frozen food in a puddle of water. Well
not so frozen anymore I had to force Mary to leave the shopping. I
shake my head in disgust. For myself and Mary.
"I'm her
brother" Caleb shrugs.
"Yes you are, you're also a grown
man, and I'm proud of you" his eyes widen and I walk further
into the room and sit down. Wishing for some coffee or something
stronger the next conversation I was going to have would not be
pleasant. "Is your exhibition still on? I would like to see it,
actually I would like some of your work here, since it was never on
the fridge"
"You don't have to do that" Caleb says
darkly.
"I know but I want to"
"I don't"
Mary snaps. She was sitting opposite me with a sour expression. She
use to be so beautiful. So carefree, so happy. But now...now I hardly
knew her. Hardly saw he smile her laugh. Hardly saw her and when I
did I found myself wishing to be anywhere else. I hated that.
"Mary
he is our son, meaning mine as well and I want some of his art work I
want to be part of his life whatever that is"
"Its
art"
"You use to paint yourself"
"Now I
have a proper job"
"Just stop" I say tiredly
rubbing my eyes I didn't want to do this now but if I didn't do it
now then I wouldn't ever, I'd just go back to the way it was before
and that didn't work. I'm ashamed my daughter had to be attacked for
me to change it. "Caleb there is room here if you want tonight I
would like to talk to you tomorrow and I'm sure Kim would like to
see you in the morning. Plus the rest of them"
"That
would be nice" Caleb says slowly.
"Kellan will sort you
out" I tell him and he leaves after giving us one confused look
that made him look years younger. "Shut the door" I tell
him. It was now or never.
"David what is this all about!"
Mary screams as soon as the door was closed as I expected.
"Mary
sit down" I look to the counter. "We need to talk and I
plan to do that as adults" Mary doesn't say anything more but
sits down. "I'm tiered" I admit "I don't like my job,
I don't like how much time I have at home since its hardly
anything, did you know I saw Josh today and hardly recognised
him"
"He's a child he's growing what do you
expect?"
"I expect to watch him grow up. Want to watch
him grow up"
"And how will we live?" Mary snaps
"Seven children don't pay for themselves"
"I'm not
talking about giving up work I'm talking about working from home or
closer to home its possible I also want to be involved with my
children. We go to torments to games but we don't talk not really not
how they are feeling or what they want" I take a deep breath for
what I was going to say next. I look up into my wife's eyes. So
familiar yet looking into them was like looking at a Stanger.
"I
want the old you" Mary gasps.
"What do you mean?"
"I
don't know you, not anymore I want my wife back the one I fell in
love with not this one who I'm not sure I like. I love you Mary so
much but I don't like you" My voice was soft and broken as I
watch Mary's face drop for a second I see the old Mary, my heart
breaks but then her face hardens. To the hard cold woman she was
now.
"What does this mean for us? That you want a divorce
because this is who I am" she spits. Hurt.
"I don't know
Mary, I don't know" Because she wasn't the only one hurt.
A/N A smaller one but hopefully still good.
Please review they mean so much. Thank you to everyone who had reviewed and read this.
